PRIVACY POLICY & TERMS OF SERVICE
Last Updated: May

Welcome to GPS
Emulator – Fake Location ("the Application"). We are dedicated to
providing a professional, secure, and transparent location-emulation utility.
Below you will find our complete Privacy Policy, required permissions,
developer disclaimers, and Terms of Service. You can easily copy and paste this
entire text to your privacy policy website or Google Play Console submission
console.
SECTION 1: PRIVACY POLICY
We hold your privacy in the highest regard. Unlike
conventional location-based applications, this
Application does not collect, monitor, harvest, or transmit any user
coordinates or personal information to external servers or third-party
databases.
1. Data Processing & Security
- Real-time Local Processing: All
mock coordinates, map search queries, and route simulations are processed locally
on your device in real-time. Emulated coordinates are sent directly to the
local Android Mock Location framework.
- Local SQLite Database: Any
location pins saved as "Favorites" or registered in your
"History" tab are stored securely inside a private, local SQLite
database on your device (utilizing the Android Room architecture). No
remote storage is used. All local data is permanently wiped when you
uninstall the app or clear its cache.
- No Server Footprint: We do not
maintain any external servers. Your location emulations are entirely
confidential to your device.
2. Device Permissions Required & Purpose
To load map graphics, search coordinates, and emulated
routes, the Application requests the following system permissions. We declare
these transparently in accordance with Google Play developer policies:
- INTERNET: Necessary to load Google
Maps tiles and resolve geographic address search queries to coordinate
positions. No private user identifiers are sent.
- ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Required to
query and display your active coordinates on the map interface prior to
starting emulation, ensuring smooth camera centering.
- ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION:
Lower-resolution fallback for rough current position centering on the map.
- ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION: Required to
register this software utility with the Android operating system's
developer mock location framework.
- FOREGROUND_SERVICE: Required to
keep the coordinate mock service active in the background while you open
and test other applications.
- FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION: Required
to specify that the background mock service handles location-emulation
tasks safely.
- SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Used to
display floating emulation control windows on top of other QA applications
during active simulations.
SECTION 2: DEVELOPER & QA DISCLAIMER
1. Intended Development & Emulation Use
This Application is engineered exclusively as a professional software development and Quality
Assurance (QA) utility. It is designed to assist software developers,
quality assurance testers, and mobile security researchers to simulate
coordinates, validate geofencing rules, and verify location-dependent behaviors
in a controlled sandbox environment.
2. Mock Provider Designation
To initiate location emulations, you must enable
"Developer Options" on your Android device and manually select GPS Emulator – Fake Location as the
active Mock Location App in your device's developer settings.
SECTION 3: TERMS OF SERVICE
By installing, downloading, or using the Application, you
explicitly agree to the following terms and usage conditions:
1. User Responsibility & Boundaries
- You
agree to restrict the use of this emulation utility strictly to authorized
developer sandboxes and debugging environments.
- You
represent that you will not employ this location mock utility for any
deceptive, illegal, or policy-violating activities.
- You
agree not to utilize the app to bypass geolocation validation in
commercial apps, manipulate ride-sharing and delivery tracking, or gain an
unfair advantage in location-based mobile games.
2. Disclaimer of Warranties & No Liability
- As-Is Provision: The Application
is provided "as-is" without any express or implied warranties of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
- No Liability: In no event shall
the developers or providers of this Application be held liable or
responsible, directly or indirectly, for any account limitations, device
restrictions, third-party service limitations, or structural system
warnings arising from your use or misuse of this software.
- Indemnification: You agree to
fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developers of the
Application from and against any third-party claims, legal disputes,
damages, or operating costs resulting from your violation of these Terms.
3. Contact & Agreement
If you do not accept these compliance terms, you must
immediately select "Decline" inside the app's Developer Disclaimer
popup and uninstall this utility.
All Google Maps API integrations and Android mock framework
implementations fully adhere to Google’s Developer Program Policies.
